Your most productive terminal with Oh My Zsh and spaceship

Install Zsh

sudo apt-get install zsh
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Clone the zsh

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Install Spaceship

git clone https://github.com/denysdovhan/spaceship-prompt.git "$ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/spaceship-prompt"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Create a symbolic link

ln -s "$ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/spaceship-prompt/spaceship.zsh-theme" "$ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/spaceship.zsh-theme"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Set Spaceship Theme, enter in ~/.zshrc

sudo nano ~/.zshrc
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Within ~/.zshrc, find the line

ZSH_THEME and change it to > ZSH_THEME="spaceship"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Configure Spaceship

At the end of the ~/.zshrc file I add the following content

SPACESHIP_PROMPT_ORDER=(
  user          # Username section
  dir           # Current directory section
  host          # Hostname section
  git           # Git section (git_branch + git_status)
  hg            # Mercurial section (hg_branch  + hg_status)
  exec_time     # Execution time
  line_sep      # Line break
  jobs          # Background jobs indicator
  exit_code     # Exit code section
  char          # Prompt character
)
SPACESHIP_USER_SHOW=always
SPACESHIP_PROMPT_ADD_NEWLINE=false
SPACESHIP_CHAR_SYMBOL="❯"
SPACESHIP_CHAR_SUFFIX=" "
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

To configure a plugin, we also have to edit the ~/.zshrc file by adding or removing the plugin names in the variable array:

plugins=(git)
